BMG Production Music (BMGPM) has promoted UK executives Alex Marchant, Ciaran McNeaney and Sam Delves to global roles, further developing its core global executive team, following a significant acquisition and growth period for the company.
Subsequent to BMGPM’s acquisition of the UK-based production music company Deep East Music (DEM) in 2018, it is promoting DEM owners and co-founders Marchant and McNeaney to new key international roles, respectively director of global marketing and director of global production. The executives will report to John Clifford, SVP global–sales, marketing & repertoire. They take on these new roles while remaining responsible for the day-to-day operations of DEM which continues to run as a separate operation to the main BMG Production Music operation in London.
As director of global marketing, Marchant will establish a London-based department that will further develop the BMGPM strategy in this area, as well as support the local marketing initiatives of all BMGPM territories.
Also based in London, as director of global production, McNeaney will oversee BMGPM’s new music production in all territories: UK, US, France, Germany, The Netherlands and Australia. While in close liaison with McNeaney, the respective music production teams in each of these territories will continue to manage day-to-day production of the company’s new music.
Additionally, Delves has been promoted to manager-global marketing, and will report to Marchant. This follows service in the role of digital marketing manager since 2017.
